Ctrl+Click to open a chart in a new window .. how?

Hi Community, after I installed a new instance on my brand new laptop I realized that opening a chart directly from the Market window (via Ctrl+Click and drag onto the 'work area') does not load the chart into a new window but rather it replaces the one in the window which has the focus. As I seem

Traders Dynamic Index - how to substitute?

Hi MQLers, as my broker (or rather, the mobile platform they are servicing) does not support the Traders Dynamic Index (and makes me sad by that indeed), I wonder what is the algorithm behind this index and can it be substituted by a combination of other means (on the chart) which would give (at

Until when does a trade remain 'selected'

Hi MQLers, after I have called OrderSelect , a couple of instructions later (like OrderType, OrderSymbol, ...) I am calling OrderProfit and I doubt this call returns the correct information.

Other ways for an EA to interrogate a custom indicator?

Hi Coders, what my custom indicator does is drawing trend lines, sometimes there are more than one displayed on the chart ( 15 is not an exception), other times there is none whatsoever. For this type of work, communication with an EA via iCustom is useless ( or better yet impossible) and I wonder

Print outputs to a tab, but not to a file

Hi Coders, suddnely my Print function stopped sending its outputs to a log file, though it keeps updating the Experts tab ( which is unusable for my analyses, however). Did I uknowingly changed a switch, somewhere

Should I be deleting resized arrays? (any gc happens within the Terminal?)

Hi Coders, being the OO guy that I am, one of my concerns is whatever happens to custom arrays when the lifecycle of an indicator ( within which such arrays are defined)draws to an end. More specifically: Is there any garbage collector which takes care of this, including arrays which have been
